Stewarton’s Centre played host once again to
the annual Ghoulie in the Hall event, raising
over £6,000 for Glasgow Children’s Hospital.
organised by lynne and miles goodwin, the event brought
together locals from towns near and far, packed with
entertainment from top to bottom. both lynne and miles
were thrilled with the turnout. lynne said: “i love the fact
that stewarton people have supported us. last year it raised
thousands for charity. kids are our future so we should look
after and love them in sickness and in health.”
The evening was full to the brim with talented musicians of various
genres, such as Have Mercy Las Vegas, Ziggi Battles and Miles
Goodwin Allstars, who had the crowd cheering and dancing all night.
Local Sharon Gibson left the crowd speechless when she took to the
stage and performed Meatloaf ’s legendary Bat out of Hell. Thrilled
to have played a part in making the night a success, Sharon told The
Review: “I’m really close to Lynne and Miles so it’s amazing to have
supported it.”
The Smuggler’s Inn, who provided refreshments over the course of
the evening, couldn’t be happier to have been involved. Owner Alan
Dawson Said: “It’s a pleasure to support Miles and Lynne. They’re both
personal friends.”
We’re all happy to support them here, and ultimately to support
Glasgow Children’s hospital.”
The fun didn’t end with just music however. Additionally, there was
an auction, which consisted of Rangers and Celtic jerseys signed by
John Brown and Chris Sutton, a cue ball signed by Ronnie O’Sullivan,
Monty Python star Eric Idle gave up his signed Life of Brian Doll,
a Primal Scream vinyl signed by Bobby Gillespie, Belladrum Tartan
Heart 3-day camping tickets for two and Sharleen Spiteri of Texas even
donated
her acoustic guitar for the
occasion. There were more incredible items for purchase in
addition to this.
The Village Balti House and The Coffee Pot provided some light bites
for the punters, both pakora and sandwiches respectively.
Due to the overwhelming success of Ghoulie in the hall as well as its
less frightening counterpart, Hoolie, Miles And Lynne believe the
event is becoming somewhat of a brand in the town, seeing as this was
the third time it has sold out since its debut. As it stands, there are no
plans to expand the event as Miles feels it’s important to keep Ghoulie/
Hoolie as Stewartonian events, but all could change in the future.
